Right said Fred - Both of us together
One each end and steady as we go .......
Tried to shift it - Couldn't even lift it
We was getting nowhere, And so, We
Had a cup of tea and
Right said Fred = Give a shout to Charlie
Up comes Charlie from the floor below ..........
After straining - Heaving and complaining
We was getting nowhere, And so, We
Had a cup of tea and
Charlie had a think and he thought we ought
To take off all the handles
And the things wot held the candles
But it did no good
Well I never thought it would
Oh, Right said Fred - Have to take the feet off
To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo ......
Took its feet off - Even took the seat off
Should have got us somewhere but no!
So Fred said let's have another cup of tea
And we said, Right-o
Oh, Right said Fred - Have to take the door off
Need more space to shift the so-and-so ........
Had bad twinges - Taking off the hinges
And it got us nowhere - And so, We
Had a cup of tea and
Right said Fred - Have to take the wall down
That there wall is gonna have to go .......
Took the wall down - Even with it all down
We was getting nowhere - And so, We
Had a cup of tea and
Charlie had a think and he said look Fred
I've got a sort of feeling
If we remove the ceiling
With a rope or two
We could drop the blighter through
Oh - Right said Fred - Climbing up a ladder
With his crowbar gave a mighty blow ........
Was he in trouble - Half a ton of rubble
Landed on the top of his dome!
So Charlie and me had another cup of tea
And then we
Went home
Spoken: I said to Charlie, we'll just have to leave it standing on the landing, that's all. You see the trouble with Fred is, he's... he's too hasty. Now you never get nowhere if you're too hasty.
The final scene here features the legendary "Let Me Sing and I'm Happy", Jolson and Irving Berlin's huge song hit!
Jolson sings it with his usual, intrinsic vibrancy putting huge pathos into the second chorus as he half sings the engaging lyric. Only Jolson could do this with such magnetism as to keep your eyes and ears glued to every movement he makes.
LET ME SING AND I'M HAPPY
What care I who makes the laws of a nation
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs
What care I who care for the world's affairs
As long as I can sing this popular song
Let me sing a funny song with crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, so happy
Let me sing a sad refrain of broken hears that love in vain
And if my song can start you crying I'm happy
Let me croon a low down blues to lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy
"Softly, as I Leave You" is a popular song composed by Antonio DeVita with original Italian lyrics by Giorgio Calabrese.
It was originally an Italian success in 1960 by Mina, at the San Remo Music Festival, entitled "Piano" ("Softly"). Mina published a recording of the song first time as a single in 1960, and later as well on an EP and on three LPs.
The English songwriter Hal Shaper, noticed the song and in November 1961 wrote English lyrics to the melody, calling it "Softly, as I Leave You". It is best known in versions by Matt Monro (#10 on the British charts in 1962. etc
One of ABBA's most beautiful and chilling songs
... Like the embers as they die
Love was one prolonged good-bye
And it all comes back to me tonight
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room ......
